  Verse 1

  Smoke drifts across the yard Your coat is damp and grey I know that walk of yours You always find your way

  Pre-chorus

  Logs are stacked against the wall Winter finds us here again And something in me starts to say

  Chorus

  Ray, you're the warmth I trust Smoke can't hide what stays You never had to try so hard Ray, you're worth the wait always

  Verse 2

  The fire cracks and settles down You lean in from the cold Your hands still smell like pine and smoke This is the story that we hold

  Pre-chorus

  Logs are stacked against the wall Winter finds us here again And something in me starts to say

  Chorus

  Ray, you're the warmth I trust Smoke can't hide what stays You never had to try so hard Ray, you're worth the wait always

  Bridge

  No grand display, no need for more Just wool and smoke and you This is the quiet kind of love That somehow carries me through

  Chorus

  Ray, you're the warmth I trust Smoke can't hide what stays You never had to try so hard Ray, you're worth the wait always

  Outro

  The smoke still drifts across the yard And you still find your way

  Verse 1

  Frost cracks under every step Stubble field, hard and grey I know that gate by heart I'm crossing it to reach you, Ray

  Pre-chorus

  Cold wind, but my feet keep moving Every step is proof I'll stay Something out here won't let go

  Chorus

  Ray, you're the reason I keep walking Through the frost and through the grey There's no gate too rusted, Ray No field too far to lay between us, Ray

  Verse 2

  Your porch light waits past the fence Small and steady, come what may I don't need a warmer road Just the sight of you, some way

  Bridge

  Some folks chase the easy weather I'll take the cold if you're the prize Every hard mile makes it truer You were always worth the ice

  Chorus

  Ray, you're the reason I keep walking Through the frost and through the grey There's no gate too rusted, Ray No field too far to lay between us, Ray

  Outro

  My boots still know that frozen ground Every print still points your way

  Verse 1

  Headlights sweep the roof in gold Every passing car retold You are humming something low I don't want this drive to slow

  Pre-chorus

  The window fogs but I can see Nothing blurs the way you look at me This feeling keeps on climbing higher

  Chorus

  Ray, you make the dark feel safe Ray, you're steady, never grey There is no one I would rather choose You're the only light I use

  Verse 2

  Streetlamps blink and then go by You catch my hand, I don't ask why Radio hums a quiet song This is where I want to stay long

  Pre-chorus

  The window fogs but I can see Nothing blurs the way you look at me This feeling keeps on climbing higher

  Chorus

  Ray, you make the dark feel safe Ray, you're steady, never grey There is no one I would rather choose You're the only light I use

  Bridge

  No map could get us here so right Just you, the hum, the passing light Whatever road we're taken on I know I want you riding on

  Chorus

  Ray, you make the dark feel safe Ray, you're steady, never grey There is no one I would rather choose You're the only light I use

  Outro

  Headlights still sweep the roof in gold I'll keep loving you as we grow old
